Stay For a While Words & Music by Michael W. Smith,

Amy Grant, and Wayne Kirkpatrick

Sung by Amy Grant



Long time since I've seen your smile,

But when I close my eyes,

I remember

You were no more than a child,

But then so was I,

Young and tender.



Time carries on;

I guess it always will,

But deep inside my heart

Time stands still.



Stay for awhile.

Well, it's good to see your smile,

And I love your company.

Stay for awhile.

And remember the days gone by;

For a moment it can seem

Just the way it used to be.



Snowfalls, phone calls, broken hearts,

Clear summer days,

Warm and lazy;

Long walks, long talks, after dark;

We vowed we'd never forget.

Now it's hazy.



Time takes its toll,

And time alters our view.

It would be nice to

Spend some time with you.



Oh, stay for awhile.

Well, it's good to see your smile,

And I love your company.

(Oohhh) Stay for awhile.

And remember the days gone by;

For a moment it can seem

Just the way it used to be.



Stay....



(Please stay.)



Stay, stay, stay....



One, two, one, two.



Stay for awhile.

Well, it's good to see your smile,

And I love your company.

(Oohhh) Stay for awhile.

And remember the days gone by;

Just the way it used to be.



Stay for awhile.

Oh, it's good to see your smile,

And I love your company.

Won't you stay with me for awhile,

And remember the days gone by;

For a moment it can seem

Just the way it used to be.



(The way it used to be. Be.......

The way it used to be, ooohhhh, aaaahhhhhh. Ooooooooooooooh.

Now, now, now, now.... Hoohhhhhh.
